    Description

    This is the oldest and most rare pinback that I've owned -- it is a still image from Carnage Visors, the film made by guitarist Simon Gallup's brother Ric, which The Cure used to open gigs on their "Picture Tour" in support of the album Faith, 1981. The Cure played the background music that was recorded for the film.
    I searched for these for years before I finally found some, and have had them in storage since the 90's, but they were already 10 years old then. They are 40 years old, now.
    The Carnage Visors film itself can no longer be found. The image on the button has been used in a few different recordings, when the audio track to the film was made available. There are a few seconds of the film that have surfaced on YouTube, but it is still considered one of the most rare Cure things out there.
    I'm a long-time Cure fan, and in the 90's I had an online shop where I sold Cure memorabilia. I have a lot of things left from that time that I'm now selling. Please check out
